Oil Change in Iowa City, IA — Quick, Professional Oil & Filter Service to Keep Your Engine Running Strong
Regular oil changes are one of the simplest ways to protect your engine and extend its life. At HarrisBoyz in Iowa City, IA, we offer fast oil changes using high-quality oils and filters, performed by experienced technicians. Whether you need conventional, full synthetic, or high-mileage oil, we’ll recommend the right option for your vehicle and driving habits.
Why Oil Changes Matter
Clean oil lubricates moving parts, reduces friction and wear, helps cooling, and prevents sludge buildup. Skipping or delaying oil changes can reduce fuel efficiency, cause premature engine wear, and lead to costly repairs. Follow your vehicle manufacturer’s interval, and let us keep a record of your services.
Our Oil Change Options
- Conventional oil change — quality conventional oil and a new filter for standard service intervals.
- Full synthetic oil change — premium synthetic oils for improved protection, stability at temperature extremes, and longer drain intervals on many vehicles.
- High-mileage oil — formulated for vehicles with higher mileage to condition seals and reduce oil consumption.
- Diesel oil options — oils and filters matched for diesel engines (fleet/diesel vehicles — call ahead).
- Performance & specialty oils — available for select vehicles and aftermarket engines.

When to Get an Oil Change
Always follow the manufacturer’s schedule in your owner’s manual. As a general guide: conventional oil often every 3,000–5,000 miles, synthetic often every 7,500–10,000 miles (varies by vehicle). If you drive in severe conditions (towing, lots of idling, dusty roads, frequent short trips), you may need more frequent changes. If you’re unsure, bring your vehicle and we’ll check it and recommend the correct interval.

- Quick oil change: usually 30–60 minutes (depends on business and vehicle).
